Pot measures approximately 2-1/2" tall, 5" wide and is 13" in circumference (around its widest point).

This lovely style of Navajo art is called horse hair pottery because actual horse hair is added to the pot at just the right moment in the firing process to melt the hairs into the pottery. This Native American pot was hand etched and painted with traditional designs, by Navajo artist Marilyn Kinlichee, creating a Turtle for a perfect finish. In Native American beliefs, the turtle represents strength, female power, and fertility. The turtle is also considered to be able to defy death.
